Elementary (Grades K-5th) - 1:30 - 2:30pm
Elementary aged students will work with Paige to create a dance or spoken word piece about who they are. During this hour you will learn about some hip hop choreographers and different styles of hop hop dance. Then it’s time to stretch and flex before you learn a brand new hop hop routine!

Middle School/Freshman (Grades 6th - 9th) - 3:00 - 4:30pm
Rap, Clap, Write That!
A pen and a paper is all you need to be a playwright! Effortlessly create characters, plots and setting using hip hop inspiration. Participants will be inspired to create poems, monologues and basic dialogue. If there’s time at the end, we’ll share the genius.
